Yes, Givers will be playing The Trunk Space this Saturday, 6/4. Givers appeared on my radar rather quickly, as I hadn't really heard of the band until late last week. The timing, however, is rather serendipitous. As I listen to In Lights, I am feeling more and more compelled to attend Givers' set this Saturday. Their Afrobeat-drenched indie pop coalesces into the rather perfect summer album in the form of In Lights. The five members of the band are rather diplomatic about their respective roles -- vocals are divided amongst three members of the band, while the other two hold it down on percussion. It's an amalgamation most definitely worth a listen or two.
